In 2018, AWS pulled in $25.7 billion. Amazons serverless cloud-computing platform keeps growing every year, and with that growth comes the same types of problems every massive effort faces: the limits and deterioration of performance as time goes on. With the rise of serverless technology, developing application and new services has never been easier.

June 2019 saw the launch of The OpsRamp Cost Savings Calculator, a simple and powerful tool which helps IT experts quantify how much they can save with OpsRamp's service-centric AIOps platform.

Open source is one of the key drivers of DevOps. The need for flexibility, speed, and cost-efficiency, is pushing organizations to embrace an open source-first approach when designing and implementing the DevOps lifecycle.

The other day whilst using a very popular website I came across a series of 404 unavailable page messages. I didn’t think much about it at the time but on reflection it made me wonder how many people actually understand what different error codes mean? Hands up, I only know a few and I work in the website monitoring sector. To most, it just means a weird IT message when things go wrong.
